<p>Great. Thanks for scaring me, pi.
I’m so scared. Are June tests always harder in general because students have more time to prep?</p>
<p>^Idk. When I re-took a test in October, I felt like it was a lot more manageable than the earlier June test of the same topic. But then again, June of last year represented my first SAT II, so, meh.</p>
<p>All right, after self-studying AP Chem I’ll tackle this test…hopefully it’ll be less intense.</p>
<p>I’ll be taking the test in June. What kind of laboratory/identification questions are asked on the Chemistry sat ?</p>
<p>Does anyone understand the chemical equilibrium questions? I understand the concept but the questions are honestly so confusing…</p>

<p>
</p>
<p>Nothing too out of the blue, but it’s hard to really pinpoint what’s going to be asked.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Could you be more specific?</p>
<p>I’m kind of freaking out right now. I have no idea how to study, and I keep on making really really bad grade on Barrons (only like 720-740… Barrons tests are SERIOUSLY curved. Missing -8 can still get you an 800 with the Barrons curve, unlike the one in the Blue Book). Can someone PLEASE help me, and tell me a strategy that I can use to do well? (I personally hate Barrons. It focuses on the stupidest information which I don’t think is going to be on the test…)</p>
<p>^I only took the diagnostic test after reading the entire book. I scored at the low end of the 750-780 range, according to Barron’s.</p>
<p>But I thought you add 20-40 points to your Barron’s score because their tests are hard…</p>
<p>@yogurt- I did too. But IDK, I’ll take the blue book test today… but I’m really really scared for the test on Saturday. Something tells me it will be a bajillion times harder than the AP Exam…</p>
<p>The blue book test? Is that the Official Book?</p>
<p>@yogurt Yes. It is</p>
<p>I find the TTCE section the hardest. It’s hard to neglect the questions and answer the other one and then figure out if they are correct explanations…uggh…I hate that.</p>
<p>Its annoying cause if you get one part wrong its all wrong</p>
<p>Does anyone know what the curve is like on the actual thing? Like the trend, cuz I’ve been missing an average of 12 questions (Boooo) and my book (I’m using Kaplan) doesn’t have a score chart -.- </p>
<p>Also, are solubility rules, reactivity series and organic reagents important?</p>
<p>My practice test scores are nuts.
Aim - 750+ on real thing</p>
<p>Barron’s Diagnostic: 600</p>
<p>-read all of Barron’s-</p>
<p>Barron’s Test #1: 700
Sparknotes Test #1: 620
Princeton #1: 630</p>
<p>-read all of Princeton-</p>
<p>Princeton #2: 780 (record lol)
Princeton #3: 660
Sparknotes #2: 680</p>
<p>W.T.F. is going on? I’m taking Barron’s #2 today…I’m so confused haha
I’m going to take the Blue book test tomorrow hopefully.</p>
<p>@ivory The curve is like about -5 800?? I am not quite sure on this…
Definitely solubility rules are important!! Memorize them!! I’m not sure about organic reagents (what are they?)…Activity series are also useful but usually when CB has a redox reaction, the reactivity series will be applied for you (i.e. you don’t have to do it) but it is nevertheless good to know it!</p>
<p>Some questions from the blue book that I didn’t understand… (spoilers to those who haven’t taken it)
Na2CrO4 soluble yellow solid
PbCrO4 insoluble yellow solid
NaNO3 soluble white solid
Pb(NO3)2 soluble white solid</p>
<p>A. yellow solid and colorless solution
B. yellow solid and yellow solution
C. white solid and colorless solution
D. No solid and yellow solution
E. No solid and colorless solution</p>
<ol>
<li>Observed when 1 mol of Na2CrO4 and 2 mol Pb(NO3)2 are mixed with 1 L of water</li>
<li>Observed when 3 mol of Na2CrO4 and 1 mol of Pb(NO3)2 are mixed with 1 L of water</li>
</ol>
<p>47) The ionization energies of Li and H are 520 kj/mol and 1312 kj/mol, respectively. The ionization energy of He is
a. 496 kj/mol
b. 656 kj/mol
c. 899 kj/mol
d. 1086 kj/mol
e. 2372 kj/mol</p>
<p>4/5 are kinda long explanations, but for 47, He is going to be higher than H because of the trend… so i think it’s “e”. quick question, is there like an average # of T, T, CE’s on the test? i don’t mean that type of question, i mean that type of answer.</p>
<p>@aznpride: There were about 3 on the test I took, and about 3 on the May test… so I’m thinking maybe 3-4? Can anyone confirm this?</p>
<h1>4: A; no Na2CrO4 is left (no soluble yellow solid); an insoluble yellow precipitate PbCrO4 formed; soluble white solids Pb(NO3)2 & Na(NO3) dissolve to form a colourless solution</h1>
<h1>5: B; 2 mol Na2CrO4 is left, so the soluble yellow solid will form a yellow solution; insoluble yellow precipitate PbCrO4 is formed</h1>
<h1>47: E; ionization energy generally increases in the ^ and > directions. Therefore, He must have an ionization energy that is higher than H.</h1>
